History


In 1997, Michael Hoge, Tom Putzki, Stefan Nyul and Alex Brüggemann incorporated Piranha Bytes Software GmbH in Bochum, Germany.[2] In 1999, the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of German publisher Phenomedia.[2] Following a financial scandal, Phenomedia filed for insolvency in May 2002, as a result of which Piranha Bytes' management formed a new, independent company titled Pluto 13 GmbH.[2] In September 2002, Piranha Bytes acquired their trademarks, including the rights to their Gothic series, from Phenomedia, with Pluto 13 effectively adopting Piranha Bytes as their trading name.[2] In March 2004, Piranha Bytes was among the founders of GAME Bundesverband.[3]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
